摘要：Solar irradiance data from high-quality ground-based measurements are primordial for different solar energy applications. In order to achieve the required accuracy, quality control procedures are of great benefit. A variety of approaches have been proposed. In this sense, some approaches propose a visual representation of the routine, while others only provide a time series of binary flag values, and do not propose any specific visualization of the flagged data as opposed to non-flagged ones. In this regard, the present paper puts forward a complete routine including several quality control procedures for solar irradiance measurements by providing visual support for these different approaches. The visual tool in question was validated using five years research data with 10 minutes resolution of the global, diffuse and direct components of solar irradiation collected from three ground-based weather stations in Morocco. This visual tool puts forth a more precise idea of the measurement quality by detecting various errors, such as time shifts, outliers identification; either with one or two components, or consistency tests between the three components of solar radiation when available. The proposed tool can be regarded as a means of improving the detection rate of abnormal data as a first step in diagnosing the prominent causes of error.
